Want to get ready for a professional security certification exam? We’ve created paths and courses to help you build the skills you’ll need to ace it—and we continually review them to ensure they align with any new objectives released by certifying bodies.

The industry renowned CISSP certification by (ISC)²  is the top technology certification for security professionals on the Pluralsight Technology Index.

Kevin Henry guides you through all eight domains on the certification exam outline with in-depth teaching on the foundational knowledge you’ll need to effectively design, engineer, manage and lead the security posture of an organization.

CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)

Ethical Hacking is our second-most popular certification on the Pluralsight Technology Index. This series provides the knowledge you’ll need to ethically and effectively discover and exploit vulnerabilities in systems, by assuming both the mindset and toolset of an attacker. Through learning how systems are attacked you’ll gain an understanding of how best to protect systems and improve your organization’s security.

Expert Dale Meredith covers the core exam for this professional certification (CEHv10).
